Are you going to rake it and bale it? ;)

Good morning, the low is a tad chilly at 17 and going to a high of 46°F. Wind NE 2 mph. Sunny! Dodge isn't home yet so I will not be getting the bushing and stack pipe I need, yet. Oil guy is coming today to fill up the house tank. I sealed the fill hole AND the slop box cover on the 500 G...

Good morning, the low is 25 and going to a high of 37°F. Wind N 16 gusting to 24 mph. Sunny! After supper last evening I managed to get the pump transferred to the new tank. I need an adapter to go from 2" to 1.5", I won't get that until Thursday or Friday after I get the Dodge back. Chrysler...

Get better soon David. I got some more done on the tank today. the tractor is full of fuel AND the pump is moved over to the new tank. I gotta get an adapter to go from 2" down to 1.5" but that wont happen until Thursday. The Dodge has an appointment at the garage to swap to summer tires...

newbury, you know what they say, BS baffles brains.

I'll say! You got an awesome deal there! My 2012 cost me with a front mount snow blower and cab and the loader $31,000.oo. Cab only has heat. If I would have gotten the CK 35 I could of had A/C as well. But at the time I was only using it for snow removal. Plunked 10 grand down and financed the...

Ron, it sounds like I have an army of male frogs here on a summers night. Not yet though. We've got a flash freeze warning for tonight along with snow in the forecast. This has been an unusual spring in as much as we normally still have a ton of snow hanging around. There is very little frost...

Good morning, the low is 44 and going to a high of 52°F. Wind S 14 mph. Becoming cloudy in the morning then periods of rain. Risk of a thunderstorm late in the afternoon. Wind southwest 20 mph gusting to 30. High 52°F. Not totally sure what I will get into today. Maybe a dump run if the...

The hood is steel. HST rocker pedal controlled. Hydro change including filters (2) about $500.oo +/- PTO manual controlled and never used. Key switch does shut it off. Have an extra new solenoid for the shutdown. Very seldom gets wet stacked. Almost always gets up to operating temps before I...

SR, there is no DEF or 'puter in my 2012 Kioti. I removed the grass burner exhaust 4 years ago and put up a 3" straight pipe that exits at the roof level. I get about 14 hours out of a tank of fuel working it hard. That is the way I worked it from day 1. I have about 6 years to go on the long...

SR, it is always a good day when your tractor can make you money. :)

two- bit, I like everything shrimp and especially torpedo shrimp. Deep fried with a bread crumb coating. As long as they aren't raw, I like them. Drew, around the neck of the woods where I grew older (Toronto and points east) nothing went into the ground before May 24 (I think that is your...

Good morning, the low is 22 and going to a high of 48°F. Wind NE 2 mph. Mix of sun and cloud. Down to Sundridge today and then up to the tank supplier to get another swivel for the nozzle. The one I had I can't seem to get the 1" adapter off of. Get back from that and continue with the tank...

Okay, that works better.

Take the rear set of discs off and use the front set to 'fluff' up the driveway. I do that with mine. Had to get a welder (I don't weld) to make me a three point hitch receiver for mine. It works good. These disks were the last of the drag discs made for Farmalls.

Move over Scott. I absolutely would rather eat catfish than trout, but it is a tossup between catfish and pickerel (walleye).

Drew, I hope that whatever you are eating stays in you and doesn't leave violently. Been there, done that. :( Hose reel installed; My back and knees said that is enough of that for today. Bored the 1/2" holes with a masonry bit and installed the threaded rod with nuts and washers.

Good morning, the low is 31 and going to a high of 43°F. Wind WSW 9 mph. (Copied off environment Canada website and translated by me) Becoming cloudy near noon with a few rain showers or flurries changing to flurries at times heavy this afternoon. Risk of a thunderstorm this afternoon. Local...

2 questions; (1) do you have a gravel driveway and (2)will those discs split?

I've already gotten not only my taxes done but the refund spent. ;)

No outside work getting done today. Snowing out. Not likely any tomorrow either, but Monday is going to be sunny, so they say.

Good morning, the low is 34 and the high to 41°F. Wind WSW 11 mph. 40% chance of showers. Yesterday and the day before it stopped raining about 2 or 3 P.M., about the time we usually stop working for the day. :( (Nothing got done on the tank install). Today IF it doesn't rain until later there...

My brand new Z-turn, first time out and I found the missing coulter off my two bottom plow. :( That was a $300.oo repair and free haulage back to the seller. Bent a spindle.

Good morning, the low is 40 and going to 46°F. Wind S 7 mph. Light rain and rain later today. I don't know what the difference is, both are wet. No tank work today, but the weekend looks good. Energy conservation day today. Nice shot of a wood pecker Ron. Have a safe day all

The last time I was at Red Lobster was about 35 + years ago. I like Chinese food better and found a Chinese food buffet chain that I really like. Off and on rain today, so the tank project is on hold. Probably get back at it on Saturday.

Good morning, the low is 40 and going to a high of 54°F. Wind ESE 20 mph. Rain. A conserve energy day for sure. Have a safe day all

Red Lobster is in financial difficulty. Red Lobster considers bankruptcy to deal with leases and labour costs - BNN Bloomberg

Speaking of truck scales, a few years ago in one of the terminals I haul out of the scale was reading 2500 kgs light. (2500 kgs = 5500 lbs.) we didn't know it and I was constantly loading more and more on my B-train trying to get my gross up to my licensed weight of 63,500 kgs (139,997 lbs). it...

I REALLY like the smell of RC 30. I guess it is the naptha that gives it the sweet smell. High float 100 smells pretty good too, until they add the anti-strip which is extremely corrosive and nasty smelling.

The trick, if they don't have fume extraction is to stay upwind. It smells like money to me. 38 years of hauling the stuff, here. We do have to be careful because some of it has H2S in it. Hydrogen sulfide gas is a killer. That is why I stay upwind.

Wow! Canadian chains wants $145.oo + shipping + 13% tax for a pair of spiders for my rear tires. Ain't gonna happen. I can get 12 bungie cords for that kind of money and have change left over.

I have a OOGA horn like that one on the front of my Kioti. Got the 30' log moved and the widow maker all cleaned up. I gotta go on canadian chains and order new spiders for my rear chains. I finally busted the last one I had. Feet up for the rest of today.

Moved a 30' log and cleaned up a downed widow maker for the neighbour. A little too cool for hoe work for me.

Good morning, the low is 31 and going to a high of 46°F. Wind E 11 mph. Mainly cloudy. I am up way too early, think I will go back to bed for an early power nap. I will let you all know how the downed widow maker works out. Have a safe day all

Scott, the tank is going to sit on 4 2x2' patio slabs. There is a slight down hill slope to the fill hole which has a slop box around it. I will post pics after the tank is in place complete with the pump and hose reel.

I got the hole punched with the BH for my 2 posts for the fuel hose reel and the posts cemented in place. Tomorrow is move a log and a downed widow maker for a neighbour.

Dump/town run done and another 15 bags of quickcrete post hole cement acquired and laid in the hole. When you dig a post hole with a BH and 16" bucket, you make a pretty big hole. Didn't go the full 6' deep but close at 5'. Still below the frost line. Used some busted concrete blocks to steady...

If you put a price on it someone will steal it thinking that they got away with it.

Good morning, the low is 30 and going to a high of 52°F. Wind N 2 mph. Mainly sunny. I changed up the routine, a dump run today and town too. Need ten more bags of cement, a 7/16" drill bit and 6' of 7/16" threaded rod along with 12 flat washers and nuts. If I have to I will use 1/2" instead...

BEF, that road looks more like a farm lane.

David, your crown/filling was "no longer suitable" because your dentist didn't do the work/make anything off it. I say if it aint broke, don't fix it.

Well, I got the hole dug for the posts, waiting on the cement which is supposed to be here later today. Went 5.5' deep, still below the frost line of 4'. Got the trailer loaded up for the dump run tomorrow. Put the $2200.oo glass top stove with convection oven right on top. 5.5 years old and...

Drew, I firmly believe that dentists are sadists. At least the one I went to as a kid was. The freezing hurt more going in and coming out than was bearable to me. I told him to drill without the freezing, he said he couldn't so I walked out on him. Three times. He eventually did drill without...

Good morning, the low is 33 and going up to 54°F. Wind SSW 6 mph. 40% chance of showers. Final resting place. Just sorted the stuff out behind it. I still need to install the gauge, whistle and pump. Post holes for the hose reel get dug today. Have a safe day all

Good morning, the low is 36 and going up to 45°F. Wind SSW 2 mph. Periods of rain. I might try dodging the rain drops to get some rearranging done today. Junior (age 55) is the one outside in the rain hooking up chains and moving skids. I stay in the nice warm cab. I don't want him sick, so...

Kyle, I have a BS, yes it is in BS. BS sometimes baffles brains. lol

Pop, nice church key. If it doesn't work as intended then you could still use it on the short sides to pop off the tops. Use the longer length as a pry bar and your index finger knuckle as the fulcrum.

We got three inches of snow overnight. Not going to plow. 34 now and supposed to go to 52°F. That is why I am not plowing. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. I am not going outside today, but IF it is not doing anything tomorrow for sure I will be outside and will take pics then. Yup...

Good morning, the low temp is 32 and going to a high of 50°F. Wind WNW 14 gusting to 25 mph. Snow now, changing over to rain then clearing. I will maybe do something with the posts for the hose reel today, after it stops raining. I have to see if I have any all thread laying around. Pictures...

Tank was delivered today. As soon as it stops raining we will get busy and install the gauge, the whistle and the drain plug with a ball valve and the pump. Then it is dig the 5' deep hole for the 4X4s that the hose reel will mount to.

Drew and txdon, it is A-holes like him that make a bad name for the rest of the truck drivers. The 'new Canadian' truck driver that killed 16 kids up here in Saskatchewan was sentenced to 16 years in the bucket and he is out after 8. Now he is fighting extradition. The rules are that if you are...

I toughened mine by eating pizza first and then the crust. BUT keep in mind that I was stoned most of the time when I did it. If you eat pizza today and raise blisters on them, then go easy until the blisters are gone then attack them again. Without teeth your stomach acid will get stronger...

Good morning, the low is 56 and going to a high of 57°F. Wind E 15 gusting to 22 mph. Rain at times heavy. I'm back from 'down south', sunny on Tuesday and Wednesday (had a nap during one of the boring presentations that I have heard 38 times over the past 38 years). Pissed down rain on...

Good morning, the low is 42 and going to a high of 66°F. Wind ESE 8 mph. 40% chance of showers. I will leave here about 9 or so, go to the bank, then the gas station, after that it will be Tim Hortons in Burks Falls for breakfast on the go and off to Newmarket. I should arrive in Newmarket...

The 2 4x4s arrived and I put them to soak up some used motor oil from the tractor. As for the eclipse...I didn't bother to observe. As for root canals and teeth in general, I got all mine out in 1971 and haven't looked back. No I don't have falsies either. I can eat steak, pizza crust and...

Good morning, the low is 42 and going to a high of 55°F. Wind E 8 mph. Mix of sun and cloud. I guess the 80% eclipse will just look like the clouds are hiding the sun. I don't look directly at the sun at any time. I do not drive into either the rising nor the setting sun either. The garage and...

The BH is on and the sunken part of the driveway is fixed for now. Attacked one of the 8 tree stumps I want to clear out on the north west side of the house. Right now the biggest (3' dia) of the stumps has a 3' deep moat around it. It has a smaller (2' dia) tree stump growing out of the side of...

Good morning, the low is 34 and going to a high of 54°F. Wind NNE 9 mph. Sunny! An executive decision has been made...The BH goes on today. That is my project for today, after I dress up a corner in the driveway that settled over spring. A mini-project will be to pack my bag in preparation for...

Good morning, the low is 31 and going to a high of 45°F. Wind NNW 11 mph. 30% chance of rain showers or flurries. I may go outside today and get the installation instructions out of the box the hose reel came in. It isn't that I don't know how to install it, but rather I don't know how wide the...

I checked and I don't have any pressure treated 4x4s. Ordered two of them, they will be here on Monday morning. I will soak the end in used motor oil for about a week, then flip them end for end and do it again for another week. Spring start up meetings starting on Wednesday through Thursday...

Good morning, the low is 30 and going to a high of 37°F. Wind N 11 mph. Snow flurries changing to rain later. About an inch on the ground so far. I am waiting patiently for the towing service to bring my tank. I told them to NOT make a special trip, but on their way back from North Bay to pick...

Good morning, the low is 32 and the high going to 36°F. Wind ENE 16 gusting to 24 mph. Snow. We got about an inch of snow overnight. Not enough to even consider plowing. The new stove arrived yesterday, other than the pain of paying for it ($900.oo) including delivery and tax. All went well...

Good morning, the high temp for today is 36 and we are there. Wind E 23 gusting to 32 mph. Snow mixed with rain. Raining now. I was going to sort out the hose reel that came yesterday but not now. I cannot do anything with it until the tank comes anyway. I will not be putting the BH on until I...

I'm back from the Bay. License good until next year when I need to have a medical in by the end of March. It goes 1 year from the date of the medical, not the date you hand it in. Evidently after age 80 the MTO (DoT in the U.S.) gets real snotty if you still hold a Class "A" license. Medical...

Good morning, the low is 30 and going to a high of 48°F. Wind ENE 11 gusting to 17 mph. Mainly sunny! There is an early spring storm coming that will bring a mixed bag of rain or snow. I am not overly concerned about it. Back up to north Bay to turn in the DL medical. Leaving here in 20...

North Bay trip went off without a hitch, except that we forgot my bottled water. We can get that on Thursday in town. Have to go back up to NB tomorrow. The place where I drop off my medical was closed for whatever reason/excuse. Supposed to be open from 9 A.M. till 5 P.M., got there at 9:20...

Good morning, the low is 31 and going to a high of 46°F. Wind W 3 mph. 30% chance of flurries. Today is the North Bay shopping trip. 1st stop, drop off my medical at DoT, then the usual 7 stops. Photocopied it last night for my records. Today marks the day 30 years ago I took possession of...

Well, the DL medical is done for another year. I allowed 4 hours to get there and arrived 3.5 hours after I left here. In and out by 10:30. Doc said "see you next year". Yupper, the Lord willing and the creek don't rise. He didn't understand that. Foreign doctor. Zero happenings on the way...

Good morning, the low is 26 and going to a high of 45°F. Wind WNW 6 mph. Sunny! A tail wind going down to the big smoke. Toronto. I'll be leaving here in an hour. Stop at Tim Hortons in Burks Falls, then next stop will be at Maple, then in Mississauga. Nice ducks, Ron. Are you going to steal...

Good morning, the low is 23 and going to a high of 39°F. Wind N 5 mph. Mix of sun and cloud. The only thing I am doing today is putting a case of water in the Dodge. I will hide it under one of the two winter coats that live in there. I don't drink coffee or tea, so straight water is 'it' for...

Good morning, the low is 24 and going to a high of 39°F. Wind WNW 8 mph. Mainly cloudy. There is nothing planned for today, an energy conservation day for sure. Have a Happy Easter and safe day all

Dump and town run went swimmingly. Got me 8 of 2' x 2' by 2" thick patio slabs for the new tank. I will only use 6 of them under the tank IF it comes with full length skids. Tank is 72" long by 50" in diameter. Got gas when I got back to S.R. $2.04/L = $7.71/US gallon. She only took 52 L for a...

Good morning, the low is 30 and the high to 37°F. Wind S 8 mph. 60% chance of flurries. We got enough snow overnight to turn my brown (gravel) driveway white again. It wont stay. Today is dump/town run day. I'll stop at the local building supplies place and pick up 6 or 8 patio slabs for the...

Good morning, the low is 39 and going to a high of only 41°F. Wind SSW 15 mph. 40% chance of showers. The promised rain came last evening. Not much, just enough to dampen things a bit. Today is an energy conservation day, in preparation for tomorrows dump/town run. Have a safe day all

Fingers crossed for just a bunch of scared wet people. I cannot imagine diving 135' into the water, let alone being dumped into it.

Good morning, the low is 36F, high 48°F. Wind ESE 20 gusting to 27 mph. Showers. The warmish rain will cut away the snow and help pull the frost out of the ground. I think winters' back is broken. The boat hitting the bridge is scary stuff! Here is hoping there were no fatalities. rs, can you...

Ron, ya sure blame it on a poor defenseless dog. :ROFLMAO:

Good morning, the low is 25°F and going to 46°F. Wind E 14 mph. 60% chance of flurries. So far none of the storm has touched me, but I think that will change. I am hoping that we warm up enough that it comes down as rain. April fools day 1967 Canada switched from a reasonable system (standard...

Good morning, the low is -2 and going to a high of 30°F. Wind ENE 4 mph. Sunny! I got my retractable hose and reel ordered. Tank with gauge and whistle ordered. Credit application done for new supplier. Now I just need to sit and wait. If the new supplier doesn't like my credit rating (they can...

This looks like a heavy duty system coming .

Happy Birthday, Mr. Buckeyefarmer Sr. Thank you for your service.

RNG, you certainly earned your R&R. I got the stumps cut and Epsom salts poured into the cuts. Junior Peed on the big one. I, too am going to do nothing this weekend.

Good morning, the low is 15 going to a high of 28°F. Wind ESE 8 mph. A few flurries. Ron, do you like to eat duck eggs? They ARE good! Bigger than a chicken egg, so where you would normally have 3 small chicken eggs you would only have 1 duck egg. Drew, that new heavy looks like a pregnant...

I got all the trees that fell down over winter shoved into the bush. Now tomorrow is cut 14" deep into the trunks and add Epsom salts that'll help them rot. After the salts are added someone (me) will need to take a p. All over the stumps. The banker lady asked me if I needed an envelope for...

Happy 21st Birthday, Sophie! ~~~~~~~~~~ RE: the southern border being invaded. Border patrol has guns, why don't they use them. You guys pay them through your taxes to protect your borders don't you? You are being invaded. As for freedom of speech, sticks and stones will break my bones BUT...

We will just have to get more 'creative' in how we discuss things relating to health.

Drew, this might shed some light on your missing post. Tech platforms face 'whack-a-mole' situation in battling health misinformation I copied this off of CTVs news website this morning. It might shed some light on your missing post. YouTube, for example, has banned content denying the...

☺Good morning, the low is 5 and going to a high of 28°F. Wind ENE 9 mph. Mix of sun and cloud. I'm going to the bank this morning and then to the tank supplier. I will get some of the pink teflon tape while I am there. The credit application is all filled out and ready to go into the mail for...

Good morning, the low is 8 and going to a high of 27°F. Wind NW 8 mph. Mix of sun and cloud. I busted one of my front chains yesterday, I have a spare set, but I will see if I can patch it up, first. The spider on that side is finished too. I have a spare pair of spiders too. I don't mind...

Probably the line about oiling your joints, I think. I scraped 4" of fluffy white snow off my driveway and the others. Shoved the trees back into the bush on the east side of the driveway. The 3 widow makers. Haven't got to the ones in the back yard yet, waiting for the ground to freeze up a...

Good morning, the low is 24 and going to a high of 27°F. Wind W 8 mph. Snow at times heavy. Snow right now. So far 4". I will be plowing this morning/afternoon. After it stops snowing. There is my day planned out. Thank you old man winter. Have a safe day all

Good morning, the low is 12 and going to a high of 32°F. Wind N 2 mph. Snow. From yesterday till this morning we got about 3/4", on top of the inch we got yesterday. Yesterday I got the block heater cords sorted out again. I had tucked the Dodge cord back into its' hiding spot for the summer...

I am getting closer to 80 every day. But I will never see 70 again.

Good morning, the low is 27 and it wont move today. wind WNW 14 gusting to 24 mph.40% chance of flurries. It is snowing now and has been since yesterday. Very fine snow. So far about an inch. Not enough to plow. It is not going to get above freezing all week. I looked on google earth and I see...

Happy St. Patricks Day, the low this morning is 31 and going to a high of 32°f. Wind WSW 9 gusting to 17 mph. 40% chance of snow or rain. I did absolutely nothing yesterday. No cleanup from tree felling and I am not going to do anything today either. Monday through Thursday are supposed to be...

Good morning, the low is 28 and going to a high of 37°F. wind S 2 mph. Snow mixed with rain. Well the tree feller came, was here for about 2.5 hours and eliminated all the specified trees. About 11 in total. Three of them, widow makers. The big one threatening the house was the hardest to do...

Good morning, the low is 35 and going to a high of 48°F. Wind ENE 8 mph. Sunny. Today is the day the tree feller is coming, we will see if he shows up. That line of storms coming up from Texas looks like there is a 'spin off' headed for Ottawa, ON. Will miss me altogether. This is a good...

Buppies, whenever I have gastrointestinal issues I think of the bathroom as my best friend. Way better than in the bed. Back from town, picked up the bills/mail and am now working my way through a family sized bag of smokey bacon potato chips.

Good morning, the low is 35 and going to a high of 48°F. Wind ENE 8 mph. Sunny! Today is dump/town run. After that I think I will gather up the wood and brackets for a sliding storm/screen door for the front. I have the track and rollers already. I certainly do NOT want to come home in the fall...

PopG, maybe can you buy the CNC and waterjet tables off him before the auction?

Happy Birthday, Drew! I got the spot for the big oil tank leveled out and the plan for the electric oil pump sorted. The rest of the day is energy conservation.

Good morning, 38 now and going to 54°F. Wind E 9 mph. 30% chance of periods of drizzle. If the rain holds off, then I will start preparing the area for the new 500 gallon fuel tank. I am also changing suppliers. They will ONLY have to fill the new tank. I will fill the house tank myself. Have...

Joel/ak, nice looking GSD.

The deed is done. All 66 shares of Telus got sold. Bye, bye to that loosing proposition. Bye, bye to the snow that was in the driveway. Now the spring melt can continue slowly. By the way, a snowblower works good on frozen dog turds, too.

Good morning, the low is 26 and headed to 52°F. Wind NW 3 mph. Sunny! The snow we got over the weekend is gone already, good. I might need to go to North Bay today and sign some paperwork. Wont know until after my financial advisor opens. Time for breakfast Stay safe all

Wagtail, if you have a snow blower that will 'relocate' the horse apples. It'll also break them up and do a better job of fertilizing.

Just got a email from my accountant. Income tax is done. 5 digit refund. My tax paying game plan is working.

I dropped the bomb on my manager this morning. He is tickled pink as is the foreman I work for. Pending a favourable license medical at the end of March, I AM going northwest this summer. I just cannot turn down $10,000.oo/month clear money.

Candlelight dinners used to be so romantic. Now they are an inconvenience.

Good morning, the low is 17 and going to a high of 37°F. Wind WNW 11 mph. Sunny. This is the kind of spring I like. Just a slow and steady freeze thaw cycle. Nothing floods. Today is a conserve energy day, I may call my dispatcher and give him the sad news. Have a safe day all

3/4" of snow since yesterday evening and all day today. Not going to plow it, tomorrow will be about 37°F. Bye, bye snow. freezing and a little below overnights all week and well above freezing in the daytime.

I second the motion for firefox and adblock+. I get zero ads on tbn. You tube more or less forced me to white list them so I do get the ads there, BUT duckduckgo has no ads but you cannot comment on you tube vids.

Below freezing temps is the best time to remove the nests and burn them.

Having run two OS tractors plowing snow and freezing my butt off, when I had the chance and coin I went for a cabbed Kioti. I got the cab w/heat but no A/C. It sure is nice to plow snow in a T-shirt. I had a front mount snow blower and took it off after three seasons of running it. I do better...

I just got CC last summer. After too many lawn tractors to recall I finally bit the bullet on the CC Z-turn $9,300.oo with the Kawasaki engine. After the last experience with a lawn tractor (new) with the Kohler motor, I will never have another Kohler motor on my property. I mow all of this...

I put my chains on at the start of winter 2013 and they are still on. I am always on dirt and my gravel driveway. I am 77 and my 56 year old son helps me whenever I have a problem with them. The attachment thingy that holds the chains together I always put a screw clevis on as an added safety...

Good morning, the low temperature is 19 and going to a high of 25°F. Wind NNW 11 mph. Snow. We got about 1/2" of snow overnight and more coming today. I won't plow it. I'll make more of a mess than just letting it melt. Monday through the rest of the week is supposed to be above freezing. I...

WOW! I should move to Michigan.

scaredychicken, congrats on new grandbaby.

Good morning, the low is 37 and the high to 43°F. Wind ESE 16 mph. Rain at times heavy. Raining right now. More snow coming tonight. Can anybody tell me if it is legal to put two ground wires under the same screw in a 120 volt electrical box? I split a duplex outlet into two circuits and put...

Well, I managed to relocate some of the big piles of snow and back bladed the driveway smooth. After the 1/2 load season (around June) I will order a couple of loads of granular 'A' (3/4" stone and sand) and get them tailgate spread and packed down. I have a cheap pos roller that I will fill...

Happy Birthday to Mrs. Popgadget!

Good morning, the low is 32 and going to 46°F. Wind E 10 mph. Cloudy. daugen, maybe the bots are trying to tell you something regarding the cosmetics.;)

RS, is there any way you can modify the frame so you can get the bolts out without disturbing the engine?

Every time you mention your lost friends, they are alive in your heart.

Good morning, the low is 25 and going to a high of 45°F. Wind NNE 10 gusting to 17 mph. Mostly sunny. Today is dump and town run. I'll finish installing the outside box today. The hard part was done on Sunday while the grid power was off. Have a good day all

Good morning, the low is 29 and going to a high of 43°F. Wind N 15 gusting to 21 mph. Mainly sunny! About 25 years ago we had a Tom cat that developed urinary crystals, the vet gave us a 5 lb jar of a tuna flavoured chewable food to give him once a week. He never had a problem again. We have...

About noon today we found 2" of water in the basement. Seems the sump pump crapped out sometime overnight, only in service for 4 months. Ripped that one out and installed the spare. I have a new one reserved at the hardware store. I'll pick it up on Thursday.

Called the supplier and he is sending someone to check the gauge against the volume in the tank. I have had problems with these guys before. We will see. 40 years ago my company delivered bunker oil to apartment buildings. The senior driver was dumping a load 6,000 gallons at one call and John...

Because I have a pump in the fill port, the driver takes the whistle out and fills the tank according to his eyeball or the gauge. All of the drivers always fill this way. All of the time with the exception of this time my tank has been full when they leave according to the gauge. There is a...

Good morning, the low is 48 and so the high will be. Wind W 7 mph. Periods of rain and possible T-storms. IF I wax the Dodge it will be in the S-L garage, so I will stay dry. The plug relocation is a want, not a need. That can wait until a dryer day. The weather guessers are talking about 1/2"...

Dodge finally got washed, twice. Washed it the first time and then went back a washed the parts I missed. I may wax it tomorrow. I've got the parts I need to install the outside split outlet. If it is raining, then I will wax the Dodge. I will be using Lucas Slick Mist. Half loads are up here...

Good morning, the low is 39 and going to a high of 57°F. Wind ESE 14 mph. Partly cloudy. I am going out today and see if the car wash is open. The Dodge desperately needs a wash. I don't want to fire up the power washer because after using it I would have to winterize it all over again. The...

The juice came back on 20 minutes ago. It took the two of us 1 hour and 15 minutes to run the 14/2 wire through all the trusses (I have a truss floor in this place) to the north wall. Two wires. All I need to do to power the outlet when I get it is turn the breakers on. That will be the 'moment...

Good morning, the low is 35 and going to a high of 50°F. Wind E 5 mph. Sunny! There is a scheduled power outage starting at 8 A.M. and going through to 11 A.M. About quarter to 8 I will go out and start the genny. After I make this post I will shut off the computer. while the juice is off I...

Good morning, the low is 33 and the high going to 41°F. Wind SSW 7 mph. 30% chance of showers. I have a tree feller coming here today. I have 11 trees to come down, 8 of them out back and 3 threatening the driveway and sheds. The three are widow makers. I have a new office chair I am breaking...

I have the pictures in my head. Remember it like it was yesterday.

I had that 'procedure' done about 5 years ago. It is a piece of cake and maybe he/she will let you watch, too. Yup, they freeze your best friend and send a camera crew up there. A nurse stands by with saline solution and pumps that up the same route to fill your bladder. I had to tell mine that...

Talk about pushy door to door salesmen, back when I was about 12/13 Mom had a vacuum cleaner salesman come to the door. When she opened it ( swings inward) a little he stuffed his foot into it so she couldn't shut the door. Well on the corner of the kitchen counter was a claw hammer and after...

Helo, that road is a motorcyclists' dream.

Good morning, the low is 6 and going to a high of 37°F. Wind SW 6 mph. Mainly cloudy. Paperwork for the taxes didn't make it to the PO yesterday. Walked out the door and left them beside my APU. :( My bad. They will go today registered mail AFTER the dump run, for sure. Going to Sundridge to...

David, as long as you enjoyed the coffee, who cares about the name? I just watched that Lehtos law one myself. I still say boycott LG and Kenmore. I am NOT a fan of loosing a frig/freezer full of food over faulty parts. The freezer full of food that Junior lost was all on him. After the power...

Antique yard art for sale, cheap. North Bay trip was uneventful. Watch repair was $40.oo for a new band AND battery. I used up almost a gallon of WS juice, the roads were that sloppy with slush. Tomorrow will go to Sundridge and wash the goat and top off the WS tank. When we left the Dodge was...

Good morning, we are in the cold snap again. -5 and going to a high of 18°F. Wind W 5 mph. Sunny! Of the 8 stops today 2 are in South River one at the bank and the other at the PO. Then rock 'n' roll to North Bay. 6 stops there. The jewelers and the PO are the only additions to the trip. It is...

BEF, I'm happy that your Dad was not effected by the tornado.

I find that some of the ads on u-tube are actually banned in Canada for prime time viewing. Whiskey ads come to mind along with others that I find offensive. The ONLY way so far to eliminate them is to pay u-tube. I'll not do that. So far since 15:00 hrs we have gotten a couple of inches. Not...

Flash freeze happening now. Was 45 this morning when I got up and it is now 10F. Snowing too. Nothing like what Donner Pass is getting, thankfully. Paperwork all done up for the accountant to do my taxes. I will send it to him via registered mail. He will 'do' it up and send me the final page...

Drew, the deer gotta eat, too. My final T-4 (1099 to you guys in the 'states) finally arrived. Maybe I will organise that today and courier the paperwork to the accountant tomorrow.

This is the dug well. Shallow, about 20' deep. Used it for watering the garden and washing vehicles. The drilled well is what we use for food and showers and all that, it is 176' deep. Temperature is 45 and that is the high for today. Wind SE 11 gusting to 17 mph. Showers or freezing rain...

Good morning, the low is39 and going to a high of 46°F. Wind S 15 mph. T-storms that were in the forecast are here. Bye, bye snow. I slept in. Up at 08:45 hrs. I don't count steps either. I have been semi-retired for 12 years (only work 4-5 months/year). I think I like winter better than...

I have hauled all the way up to Pickle Lake and also Armstrong, both in Ontario. both highways are hot mix paved for about 20 miles and then surface treated the rest of the way. Surface treatment is tar (high float which is tar and water and some chemicals I am not privy to) sprayed on the road...

Got my room reservation confirmation number. All is good now. Regarding late season snow storms, running from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay I ran right into a storm that when it was finished dumped 6" of snow on Hwy 17 outside Upsala, ON and cost 2 drivers their lives. What a crappy feeling it is to...

Good morning, the low is 17 and going to a high of 37°F. Wind NW 8 mph. Mainly sunny. We got an inch of snow overnight. It will melt. I never sell March short. We get some of our worst snow storms in March. My favourite motel is closed for renovations, I had to book my reservations through the...

That is what felines are, the other white meat. :ROFLMAO:

Good morning, the low temperature is 19 and going to a high of 32°F. Wind S 14 mph. Flurries, about an inch of them. Not much on my plate for today, so I will conserve energy. Have a safe day all

I just stumbled on this; interesting to me anyhow, but now I know more about the pricing. Canada exports our crude to the U.S who refines it and sends in back up here as diesel and gas. Then we up here put the cow pee in it.

Big Bone Lick State Park in Kentucky comes to mind.

Good morning, the low is -8 and going to a high of 16°F Wind N 2 mph. Sunny! Not much going on for today. Another energy conservation day. Have a safe day all

In my case I didn't need the shop manual, just good ole' reasoning and knowing how the circuit worked. Those were the original relays. The fuel solenoid relay went out about 5 years ago and it sure was cold out when it quit. Fixed that problem in my Shelter Logic tent. Call me cheap if you want...

Is your dome light bulb or LED?

Currently my 2012 CK27hst has 1220 hours on it and it has whined since day one. I asked the dealer about it and he said that some do and some don't. Don't sweat it, just turn the stereo up louder. So after the warranty was up I put a straight pipe on it. Now I got something to listen to...

The oil for whatever needs oil is SHELL Rotella for the engine, SHELL S3 grease, CASTROL 90 weight gear oil, I am not sure off the top of my head what hydraulic oil I am using but I think it is PETROCAN 90 weight. They own SUNOCO up here.

Goldens are smart and can be calm enough to be service dogs. Wouldn't a sharp pair of wire cutters do the trick? I have never had staples, so I don't know what the Dr. uses.

Good morning, the low is 30 and going down to a high of 19°F. Wind NNW 23 gusting to 30 mph. 30% chance of snow flurries. Wow, I sure slept in this morning. Went to bed at midnight, up at 4 for a P, back to bed and up at 8. It is a wonder that the cats weren't lined up at my doorway stomping a...

What are lamb eggs? Nice Yabut

In Ontario it is. I don't know about the rest of the country. They use a lot of salt and magnesium chloride on the roads in winter time.

Good morning, the low is 33 and going to a high of 36°F. Zero wind. Mainly cloudy. A dump/town run is in the cards for today. I might stop by the local Dodge dealer and see if he wants to play ball on a 2006 Ford pickup. He wants $6900.oo + 13% tax= $7,797.oo for it AS IS or not safety...

mostly, I am going to try and save the last one. It is the farthest from the driveway. The wood floor in it isn't in the best shape. The other two have concrete floors. I am thinking I will take the other two down and cut the floor out of the third and bust up the concrete from the other two and...

WOW! Wagtail, that is 9.25" of rain. A lot of rain.

For 2 years I had no low speed blower on the CK27. I ignored it because I still had high speed. Then the high speed went out. My dealer wanted $610.oo + tax and shipping for a new blower. Then everything else quit working, the wipers both front and rear and the carnival light on top. Pulled the...

Winter or summer, I NEVER let my tractor sit without a FULL tank of fuel. Winter time the gauge gets down to almost 1/2 tank and I fill it up. Summer time, rinse and repeat.

Mine whines just like my ex-wife did before she became my ex.

Due to the extension I put on the top of my loader bucket (to keep rocks from denting my hood any further) my headlights are useless, so I disconnected them at the light and wired my horn into that circuit. It works good. turn on switch momentarily and you get A-OOOGA!

Underneath the roof there are a bunch of relays. For the price of them I just replaced all of 'em. Or you could try swapping out the existing relay with a known 'good' one and carry on like that until you find the faulty one.

Why lie about it, using a dpf can that 'looks' like original? Granted my Kioti CK 27 is a 2012, I didn't like the grass burner exhaust (what we truck drivers call exhaust that doesn't go up to the air but rather directs the exhaust down to the ground) so I took it off. [I did this mod AFTER the...

Good morning, the low is 16 and going to a high of 39°F. Wind SE 8 mph. Sunny. Today I think I will tighten up the mounting bolts for the loader. I try to do them at least once a year. IF I find a loose one, then I spin it out and loctite it. I have a 1/2" drive electric impact gun that works...

My Dayton 10,000 watt genny has been in the genny hospital since the fall of 2022, waiting for parts. bought a 8,000 watt genny so my butt was covered given how unreliable the electric company is here with their 'clean, safe (?), unreliable' power. But they are cheaper than the alternative. I...

Good morning, the low is 7 going to 32°F. Wind NE 11 mph. Mainly cloudy. Yesterday I spent 3 hours cleaning this place up from the 16" dump of snow the day before. Got the neighbours all cleaned up and gave the driveway enough of a cleaning to pass a VW as long as you didn't mind backing in...

PC here running windows 10. Pictures took with my Samsung Galaxy A 50 or my Canon Rebel. either way the pics must be resized smaller.

Open the photo in paint and resize it to under 4 kb. That is IF you are using MS windows. If you aren't then I can't help you. PopG, Bring her up here, she will be belly deep in snow. :ROFLMAO:

check, that is exactly why I put a 12" extension of checker plate steel on the top of my bucket. Second day of using it after delivery (new) a large rock rolled off the top of the pile in the bucket and dented my hood. The extension also adds capacity to the bucket, especially when pushing snow...

I really like wild catfish. I was laid over in Mississippi many (1985) years ago and on the holiday Monday the restaurant had fried catfish on the menu all you can eat. After the 5th plate full the waitress confessed to me that they were farmed catfish. THAT is why they had no flavour. The...

OOPS! My bad.

Good morning, the low is -16°F and going to a high of 16 on the plus side. That is a 32° raise in temperature. Wind N 8 mph. Sunny! We got another inch of snow overnight. The block heater is already turned on. I wont abuse my starter nor the engine trying to start it in these temps without the...

The only Blue Bonnets I know.

If it is rubbery like calamari, then forget it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 4" of snow that we were promised turned into 16". Got the customers dealt with and the lower half of my driveway passable for right now. IF an emergency vehicle had to come up the drive, they could make it but would have to...

Good morning, the low is 21 and going to a high of 28°F. Wind WSW 6 mph. Light snow. Snow started yesterday evening, still snowing, gonna snow all day. We've got about 8-10" so far, judging by what is on the railing on the porch. They forecast 2-4". Block heater is turned on and will go out and...

Seems to me that is what I brought home in the fall of 2022, whatever it was kicked the stuffing right out of me. Normally when I come in after a summer of being on the road, I take a week off to decompress, but in 2022 I did manage to get the truck into the driveway and that was the last...

I agree (This Canuck wouldn't be happy, being judged by our gubmint's behaviour.) Nor would this Canuck. Even with all the years of trucking, the closest I've been to California is when my step-son balled a valley girl in the trailer of a bed bug hauler (household mover) in Oregon.

The temperature now is -4°F. When I plowed I did get the downed tree moved. Scooped the top up in the bucket and pushed. It was broke off about 20' up, perfect. Got junior to wrap my towing chain around the trunk and pulled it down all the way, then pushed it all the way to the back of the...

I pay $0.11/kwh + delivery charge + Regulatory Charges (whatever they are)+HST = $0.1945/kwh. This is as long as in winter I stay under 1,000 kw hours/month. In summer (May 1 to October 31) it changes to 600 kwh/month to stay in the scheme I am on. I have an oil furnace + wood heat both...

Good morning, the low is a robust 2 and going to a high of 10°F. Wind NNE 3 mph. Mainly sunny. Nothing on the calendar for today. I'm going back to bed. Have a safe day all

Well I got the snow plowing done. The block heater for the tractor wouldn't turn on, so it took two heat cycles of the glow plugs and she fired right up. Started at 9 and finished at 1 P.M. Got the lack of power at the block heater plug figured out. My bad. Use the juice when I did some work on...

Good morning, the low temp is 15 and going to a high of 18°F. Wind NW 18 mph. Periods of light snow. I will go out at 9 and fire up the tractor, 15 minutes warm up and then plow the 6" of snow we got. That is actually 4" (yesterday) on top of the 2" we got the other day. In answer to the...

I will be definitely be plowing in the morning. I didn't get the rear work light on, but I have all the parts I need to do the deed EXCEPT for the temperature. If I have a choice between getting sick on a holiday or getting sick at home. HOME will always win. We'll talk in the morning, stay...

Good morning, low 14, high to 27°F. Wind SE 7 mph. Snow! All day and all night. We could end up with about a foot, IF the system goes right over us. Today is dump/town run. After that, watch the snow accumulate. Have a safe day all

Good morning, the low is 6, high 18°F. Wind W 7 mph. 30% chance of flurries. Between yesterday and last evening we got about 3", so far. We are supposed to get freezing rain tonight and tomorrow. I will leave the snow until after the freezing rain is done. Not much going on today, so I think I...
